Kill Adaptive Brightness

Before being lucky enough to score my K1, I read/heard many reviews about the DIM screen and up until recently I had bought into the notion that the screen was good, but not as bright. I have had many androids and like most people with an android phone I realized that the adaptive brightness often skewed the perception of how bright the screen really is.

If you feel that your screen isnt as bright -- try turning off adaptive brightness in settings and I think you'll be much happier. Of course this will impact battery life, but c'mon who doesnt charge their phone every night anyways?

I too had found that is the case with adaptive brightness set to ON.

Yep. Turn it off and the screen brightens right up.

On my Samsung phones adaptive brightness was always way too dim. On my keyone It's actually perfect. I never feel It's too dim. This is the first phone I've owned where I can keep it on all the time.

I followed your advise. Much better now. Was getting kinda annoyed with the brightness not making its mind up if it was going up or down.

plus it makes the window in the flip case unusable since the case covers the light Sensor.
so, keep it turned off

I find it's too dark and have turned it off.

I turn adaptive brightness off almost immediately after setting up any new phone.

Me too ! I have been never satisfied with the brightness level automatically set !
I prefer to adjust it always manually to my own taste.
